After spending Christmas and NY with the folks down in Geraldine, as well as a jaunt to Oamaru, I really think Quickies could spread further than Canterbury. There are so many awesome locations for running and biking tracks down North Otago, I'd love to try one out.

The only way this is going to happen of course, is by first making them a huge success in Christchurch, and the only way that's going to happen is if you good folks keep entering them! So, thank you for your support thus far, and if you'd like to bring a mate to the next event, please do so and let's get this Quickie thing cranking. I'd love to see more Cantabs getting involved with multisport, hopefully there are a few people out there who have it on their list of 'to-dos' for 2014!

Now, I'm not going to lie to you, I am feeling post holiday blues and not feeling a great desire to head back to work.. But one thing I find that really helps with my mood, is exercise. Being active is good for your body, and it's good for your brain. I still struggle with thinking too much when I'm out running or on the bike, but maybe that means I'm not going hard enough! Anyway if you're truly dreading starting back at work or even the year ahead, throw on your shoes and go for a run, I guarantee you'll feel better for it. Oh yeah, that picture is of Dad's new Pinarello, it's ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN SWEET!! I have got to get me one of those!
